One would hope.  But I get the feeling many of them are relying on the different navies in the area to protect them.
 
Looks like the pirates heaviest weapons are RPGs.  Not sure what affect they would have on large ships (non-tankers).

I'm pretty sure that a Barrett would get them well before they got into RPG range. I'd buy a Barrett for the job at hand.

Blackwater could get into the shipping security buisness.
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Not very far if they were towing the pirates behind their boat.

Yep, not very far, looks like within 100 feet or at least that's the story being release to the press.
